Find three advertisements, put in picture and describe why it has questionable ethics
This is a questionable add for the sexual undertones it conveys. Burger King is a family friendly place, but some parents don't want their children seeing these types of photographs or advertisements. It doe's promote the food for some male adults and a select group of females, but this isn't an advertisement a company who deals with families should be using.
There is not one main thing that you can point out and say is wrong with this advertisement, it is just all around disturbing. The creature on the right can disturb anybody and probably give children nightmares. Since this is being marketed towards families, there is absolutely no reason a company should be very clearly giving some children nightmares.
This advertisement is just rude, there is no way around it. It shames women with larger bodies and enforces the thinking that women can't look good unless they are skinny or slim. Some women take this to heart and go on diets that actually leave them with serious damage. If you are marketing being a vegetarian then yes you should tell people to stop eating meat, but not in a way that can potentially leave the target with serious mental, physical, and emotional trauma.
